The proposal that a Paleo-Mesoproterozoic supercontinent, Columbia, preceded the existence of Rodinia was forwarded in 2002. A similar proposal that same year provided a …
A set of global paleogeographic reconstructions for the 1770–1270 Ma time interval is presented here through a compilation of reliable paleomagnetic data (at the 2009 Nordic …

The evolution of Earth's biosphere, atmosphere and hydrosphere is tied to the formation of continental crust and its subsequent movements on tectonic plates. The supercontinent …
Undeformed felsic to mafic igneous rocks, dated by U–Pb zircon geochronology between 311 and 255 Ma, intrude different units of the Oaxacan and Acatlán metamorphic complexes …

The late Paleoproterozoic Jianping diorite–monzonite–syenite suite (JDMSS), in the Western Liaoning Province (WLP) along the northern margin of the North China Craton …
U-Pb baddeleyite ages for key mafic dykes of the Amazonian Craton reveal four significant intraplate episodes that allow connections with global igneous activity through time and …
The Tandilia Terrane (southernmost fringe of the Rio de la Plata Craton) is an igneous and metamorphic complex produced by an accretionary orogeny (2.25–2.02 Ga). Calc-alkaline …
